How do you get text to remain in field after send on errors ?

[Saz]

At the moment, the visitor inputs a load of text
into the comments box, but if they click send and
there's errors in other fields on the page, the
comments box goes blank and they have to
enter the text into the field all over again ;-(
Trying to get it so that the comments box stays
complete).

Do I have to refer to the field or field name
elsewhere in the code please? Getting a bit stuck
on this ;-(

Any help appreciated.

<TEXTAREA style="FONT-SIZE: 13px;" name="comments"
rows="7" cols="21" value="comments" type="text"
value="<?php echo $_POST['comments']; ?>"
maxLength="32" size="14">
</TEXTAREA>

<TEXTAREA name="comments"><?php echo $_POST['comments']; ?></TEXTAREA>
